About You

Parcels go missing. Trucks get hijacked. Goods arrive damaged. Someone needs to figure out what happened - and what we can recover. We’re looking for a sharp, analytical and seriously detail-obsessed Claims Administrator to join our Customer Service Department. You’ll investigate and manage courier claims from start to finish - checking the evidence, challenging inconsistencies, maximising recovery and finding commercially smart solutions.

This isn’t a role for someone who simply processes paperwork. We need someone who asks questions, spots discrepancies and makes things happen. If you can spot a discrepancy in a timeline, read a GPS trail like a detective, challenge a courier when the evidence doesn't add up, and still maintain a good relationship afterwards - we want you.

Responsibilities:

Investigating Claims

• Investigate lost, damaged, tampered and other claimable courier events.

• Scrutinise claims against information in our systems to establish whether they are genuinely claimable.

• Evaluate PODs signatures and analyse GPS coordinates against delivery addresses

• Verify that incidents and damages were reported within the required timeframes.

• Gather and validate supporting evidence, including photographs of products, damaged packaging, protective packaging, fragile indicators and courier incident reports.

• Approach every claim with a critical eye - investigate the details, verify the evidence and make sure the full story adds up

Maximising Recovery

• Assess the financial viability of pursuing a claim based on claim limits and carrier T&Cs

• Identify commercially sensible solutions such as replacement parts or salvage where a traditional claim isn't viable.

• Prepare and submit complete claim documentation across multiple courier portals and processes.

• Track outstanding, paid and disputed claims and follow up proactively.

Working With Couriers & Internal Teams

• Act as an operational contact for courier claims departments and insurer representatives.

• Challenge incorrect or unsupported repudiations and negotiate claim outcomes.

• Build strong courier relationships while remaining firm on ODO's financial recovery requirements.

• Work with Finance to obtain and verify invoices and supporting documentation.

• Maintain accurate information across internal systems, ensuring automated workflows continue to run correctly.

• Assist CS Management with larger-scale loss events and insurance claims where required.

Improving the Process

• Analyse claim data to identify recurring courier, damage and loss trends.

• Highlight root causes and opportunities to reduce future losses.

• Identify process improvements and cost-saving opportunities.

• Stay up to date with courier T&Cs, claim requirements and insurance terms.

Experience and Qualifications

• Grade 12 / Matric required.

• 1–2 years' experience in logistics, supply chain, courier claims, insurance administration or a similar operational environment advantageous.

• E-commerce experience is advantageous.

• Experience working with commercial T&Cs, claims processes or insurance policies highly advantageous.

• Experience with CRM ticketing systems, such as Zendesk.

• Strong Google Sheets / Excel skills and confidence working with data.

• Comfortable using Google Drive and task-management tools, such as Asana.

• Experience with invoice preparation, POD auditing and digital document management is advantageous.

• Organised and you can manage multiple claims, deadlines and long-running investigations without losing track.

• A strong communicator and can deal confidently with couriers, Finance

• and CS Management.

• A fast learner – you're comfortable learning new systems, processes, T&Cs

• and claim requirements.
